Comparison of the inhibition of mature PRS17 and PR, and autoprocessing of TFR-PRS17 precursor at the p6pol/PRS17 site, with a panel of clinical inhibitors. The inhibitors are listed in the order of increasing Ki (decreasing affinity) for PRS17. Estimated Ki values for wild-type PR from published sources are listed here solely for comparison. Similar values from different sources were averaged. In the present work Ki values for inhibition of mature PRS17 were determined by ITC or by kinetic analysis as indicated by superscripts ITC and K, respectively.
